WALLINGFORD, Conn., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Executives of Z-Medica
Corporation (Z-Medica) today presented the company's 2007 Francis X. Hursey
Award to Rockland Paramedic Services (RPS) Medic 21 member John McCullough
for his heroic use of its breakthrough QuikClot(R) 1st Response(TM) brand
hemostatic agent to save the life of a motorcycle accident victim with a
torn femoral artery. The Hursey Award -- a presentation sculpture and a
$1000 check to the recipient's charity of choice -- is presented annually
to, "the civilian first responder who best exemplifies the Z-Medica creed:
The greatest privilege is to make a difference." It is named for Frank
Hursey, the discoverer of QuikClot(R) who, with Z-Medica CEO Raymond J.
Huey, made the presentation to McCullough before an audience of officials
of Orangetown, New York, where the accident occurred, members of the
public, representatives of RPS, and the woman whose life was saved -- now
recovered. Her appearance drew tears and applause from the room as her
fiancee had been killed instantly.

When paramedic McCullough arrived at the May 2007 accident scene, he
observed the victim with a life-threatening injury involving a tear of the
femoral artery. A tourniquet applied by bystanders was not working.

Calling on his training, McCullough applied QuikClot(R) 1st
Response(TM) to the wound, and immediately stopped the arterial bleeding.
Stabilized, the victim was airlifted to the Westchester Medical Center
Trauma Center in Valhalla, New York. According to RPS, the Westchester
trauma team attributed the victim's survival and good outcome to paramedic
McCullough's intervention with QuikClot.

"We applaud John McCullough and Rockland Paramedic Services for
providing the citizens in its coverage area with the latest and most
effective blood clotting technology," said Z-Medica CEO Ray Huey. "They
share our commitment to greatly reducing the more than 50,000 U.S. lives
lost each year from traumatic bleeding -- mostly in traffic accidents. We
were very touched to meet this wonderful woman who is alive because of
QuikClot. Her courage to attend despite her loss is inspirational and her
example will help to save others."

RPS was the first EMS group in the Hudson Valley region of New York
State to test and deploy QuikClot(R) 1st Response(TM). It has reported a
number of effective usages since adopting QuikClot(R) in 2007. Since his
actions that won the Hursey Award, McCullough again used QuikClot(R) 1st
Response(TM) brand to save a second life -- a police officer who was struck
by a truck while part of a motorcycle escort detail.

John McCullough is the fourth recipient of the Hursey Award. Former
recipients are a corporal in the Pennsylvania State Police, Tunkhannock
Station, a deputy in the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department, Tampa,
Florida, and an officer in the Marlborough, New York Police Department.

QuikClot(R) is an inert proprietary mineral product manufactured in
various formulations for different applications. The original formulation
is granular and poured directly into a wound. Later products consist of
beads of QuikClot(R) encased in a porous surgical fabric. These include
QuikClot ACS+(TM) (Advanced Clotting Sponge) and QuikClot(R) 1st
Response(TM), QuikClot(R) Combat Gauze(TM), a new product for the military
and tactical market and two consumer products, QuikClot(R) Sport(TM) brand
and QuikClot(R) Sport Silver(TM) brand (antimicrobial).

QuikClot(R) brand hemostatic product has been credited with saving more
than 150 lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the most widely used
hemostatic first aid product available, with more than one million units
deployed with U.S. military troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, with first
responders and security organizations across the nation and in 36 countries
around the globe.
